THERE YOU ARE UNASSUMING
surrounded by a
wilful, circular air
head a little tilted
and your eyes deeper
than October’s firmament

I am not sure if your knee
is bent
or rigid
despite the storm
but it is by all means clear
looking at your cravat
that you defy mystery
with your sceptical grin
that you side with evil
while fighting it
that you live immersed
in a burning, murky
lava
but cling
still to
that radiance
that never leaves you alone
